FOG ubuntu image fails to update database

[JGeear]

Hi, I am running the latest dev-branch FOG version 1.5.10.1792 on a Ubuntu 24.04 machine. I have not had any issues creating Windows images. I just tried an ubuntu image!
I am now receiving an FTP login incorrect. I have checked the FOG settings and the passwords match and I can transfer files to the server via FTP.

@JGeear check at Fog Settings (index.php?node=about&sub=settings) if the password is stored here is the same you can access ftp server:

[JGeear]

@Redbob Yeah, I verified the passwords in the GUI as well as the /.fogsettings file and they are identical. I was able to transfer files via FTP using the username and password. Note, I am able to capture Windows images, it’s this Ubuntu image that’s causing the grief.

[JGeear]

@Redbob I did notice the file /var/www/fog/lib/fog/Config.class.php had different password than the GUI and the /.fogsettings file. modifying this file had no effect.

@JGeear, I have the same problem. But I’m running the latest 1.6-working version.

[Tom Elliott]

@mashina Are you sure it’s giving ftp_login error?

[Tom Elliott]

@JGeear your FOG Storage Node -> username/password is where the ftp_login information comes from.

@mashina Similarly for you, but I call out about the “same message” becasue working-1.6 is using ssh unless you’re on an older (1 year or so ago) version of working-1.6?

@Tom-Elliott Hi Tom, Sorry, my bad. I don’t get Login incorrect message. Mine is saying, No active task found for Host <Hostname>. But the error is the same, could not Update database. Also, I am using the latest working-1.6.

I don’t know if these errors are relevant, but my Multicast was around 12:30.

@mashina Can you get select * from history; out of your database?

I’m having a sneaking suspicion the issue is likely part of a rewrite to substaintially make save our save to database functions, that has some repercussions on other things because so much had required things that shouldn’t have bene required.

Similarly, can you provide the exact version?

“Latest working-1.6” is a shifting target. like i’m pretty sure you were not on the latest since I made pushes today so pretty sure the error you are getting is not related to today.
